Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1399
“Mr. Nacht, he…” Ben hesitated briefly but came clean in the end. “He doesn’t have long to live.”
“What did you say?” Charlotte froze and widened her eyes in disbelief.
“This is what happened…”
He then recounted everything to her, starting from three months ago when Zachary realized something was wrong with his eyes and confirmed he was poisoned.
Following that, he explained how Zachary accepted Charlotte’s conditions and hid himself away for treatment, where he suffered excruciating pain alone.
After two months of treatment, Zachary still did not fully recover despite showing some improvement. When he heard that Charlotte was going to marry Louis, he dropped everything and headed to Arkfield to see her. Unfortunately, he was greeted by a heartbreaking sight.
Everything he did—taking away the children and deliberately creating a misunderstanding to infuriate the Laurent family—was so that she could return home and take over the Nacht family as the lady of the household after his passing.
It took an entire hour for Ben to relate everything that had happened.
He even told her that nothing was going on between Zachary and Nancy. All this while, Zachary had been using Nancy to make Charlotte jealous. Whenever he tried to clear the air with Nancy, something would prevent him from doing so.
This time around, Nancy brought in Helen at the crucial moment to treat Zachary. That was why Ben allowed her to stay at the house for the time being.
Having heard his words, Charlotte was moved to tears. It never crossed her mind that Zachary was suffering alone when she had misunderstood him all this while.
In spite of that, he still selflessly saved her at the crucial moment. Yet, when he was struck down by sickness, she was not by his side and even became a burden to him.
“Ms. Lindberg, I know that I’m disobeying Mr. Nacht by telling you all this now. However, I’m at my wits’ end.”
